Section 126-85-62 - Application Selection

62.1. SFAs shall satisfy the verification requirement by using either random sampling or focused sampling.

62.1.1. Random sampling consists of selecting and verifying three percent of applications on file. Procedures have been developed to provide a method for the random selection of free/reduced applications. Documentation of the random selection is to be kept on file at the school.

62.1.2. Focused sampling consists of (1) selecting and verifying a minimum of one percent or 1,000 of total applications selected from non-food stamp households claiming monthly income within $100 or yearly incomes within $1,200 of the income eligibility limit for free or reduced price meals plus (2) the lesser of one-half percent or 500 applications of food stamp households that provide food stamp case numbers in lieu of income information. Procedures have been developed to provide a method for the focused sampling selection of free/reduced applications. Documentation of the focused sampling will be kept on file at the school. Selection of Option 2 for verification purposes shall be the responsibility of the WVDE or the SFA and not the individual schools.
